Hello all! I built and maintain SliderUI - a SaaS that allows users to build and embed image sliders onto their own websites. It has been live since 2017 but I have recently rebuilt it and started advertising it on my open-source jQuery slider plugin bxSlider. I was hoping that I could describe the stats and traffic of the app and ask for help regarding next steps.
Here is a breakdown of the app:
Here is a breakdown of the app:
- On signup users get a 7-day free trial that includes all features
- To continue using the app, the cost is a one-time payment of $1.99 USD
- Unique visitors per month: ~1,100 (mostly referrals from bxSlider)
- Free trial user signups per month: 90-120
- New paid users per month: 1-3
- How do I start talking with users about what problems they have? Is it off-putting to email users whose trials have expired? Should I email paid users about their pain points?
- Should I re-evaluate the pricing model to be higher or possibly a monthly subscription?
- How can I think about generating more traffic to the app? I am hesitant about posting to communities with the fear of being perceived as spammy or sales-y.
